Review for IHS, The Institute For Human Services, Inc, Honolulu, HI, USA
When our State was in economic trouble and we were furloughed two days a month, I wanted to make the new time I had available count. At IHS they were receptive to me volunteering in the Family Room as a tutor, but they were also very thorough in checking my background and providing appropriate training before allowing me time with the guests. I did get assigned to tutoring kids after school but the surprise was how I ended up doing as much or more learning then the kids I was tutoring. The compassion and professionalism of the staff at IHS is outstanding. Each day Miss Angela teaches respect by example and breeds confidence and success in the projects she plans for each child. Her rules create discipline and allow everyone to have fun in the space. It's easy to see how this program has such a positive effect on its guests.
